Amidst speculation surrounding Ivan Toney's potential departure from Brentford in the summer, the striker, who has netted three goals in the Premier League following his return from a lengthy betting ban, has attracted reported interest from Chelsea and Arsenal.
Igor Thiago, 22, stands at 6ft 2, and is quick, strong, and good in the air - all qualities that Thomas Frank requires in a centre forward.
